Personally, I don't care if Atlanta is the odds favorite. The Texans deserve more respect. I believe we will win the turnover battle, and take the win. I believe we can get an INT, a couple sacks, and a forced fumble. Ridder is averaging 4 sacks per game, so expecting 2 sacks is a fair estimate. We have the better offensive and defensive rankings, and have the best QB. Their only advantage is home field and their running back. That, and less penalties. Team Offensive Rankings Houston #10 Atlanta #12 Team Defensive Rankings Houston #15 Atlanta #24 Ridder 744 YDS 62.2 CMP % 3TD 3 INT RTG 77.9 Stroud 1,212 YDS 62.3 CMP% 6TD 0 INT RTG 100.6 Key to the win is for DeMeco has to come up with a defensive strategy to stop Bijan from getting 6yds or more per carry. Slowik, and our offensive line need to find a way to get Pierce some running routes to be effective. Robinson 53 attempts 318 yds (6 yds per carry) Pierce 64 attempts 181 yds (2.8 yds per carry) We need to play smarter, and reduce the penalties Houston 7 penalties per game Atlanta 4.8 penalties per game Play smart, reduce the penalties, take care of the ball, open some running routes, and keep the pressure off our QB. Let's take care of business and win our 3rd straight game since OCT 14, 2018. That's a 5 year record I want to break this week! Let's do this! Go Texans!
Arizona's gimmick on defense is making the offense believe the middle of the field is open by disguising and then having their talented safeties jump all over it. 7 plays were play action last week for our Offense, I expect that to double this week. Hit them over the top and seams. I also expect as much pre snap movement as last week which was record breaking for the season. Hold Arizona's running back duo to 120 yards combined and the Texans should win by 20 again. I'll give Arizona the honor of getting Stroud's first thrown int. 4 TDs 1 int, 350 yards. Pierce 90 yards rushing / 40 catching. Let's take out Arizona =)
2019 with all the drama that followed is a lifetime ago. You shouldn't have changed it. It was funny.
Don’t let any numbers fool you, Desmond ridder is in a race with Daniel jones for the worst QB in the league. The falcons are a bijan driven team. They can’t throw to win anything and their defense is not good. Stop Bijan, score early, make then have to throw to get back into the game and pin your ears back
Do the Texans face anyone left on the schedule that’s better than Stroud (minus Burrow)? Texans score 30+ again Texans 34 Birds 16
I'm not saying better but functions with his Offense, Baker. He will still gift you a possession or two.
It's a good feeling to have when you think the Texans SHOULD win a game. And it's starting to get to the point where losing will hurt more now than in recent years because this team isn't a joke anymore.
It`s difficult to be optimistic after the last few years, I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop......I am in uncharted territory with my emotions LOL. I love B Robinson and he will be trouble and I am still waiting for the Kyle Pitts to break out, but I have confidence in our D and I ****hope**** CJ continues to progress, the kid has been a stud so far. I can honestly say at this point (only 4 games I know) but I am glad we got CJ and not B Young who I wanted so badly, lady luck may have shined down on the Texans organization for ONCE Texans 24 Falcons 17
